INSPIRATION

“The People’s artist, one who understands the meaning of this given title understands that he can never create far away from the people. He will consider the fate of the people his own fate, the lot of the people his own lot. He will dedicate his artwork to the people. His creative inspiration will come from the people; and will be dedicated to the people and for the people”

DIRECTION

“The works of a painter are as limitless as an ocean in which you can’t see the shores. The painter, in this limitlessness of his work, amplifies his creations. He must be close to the people and work within the depths of the people’s hearts. He must take on the faith of the people and create for the people. I take my direction exactly from that.”

ABOUT ART

“Art is deeply human. It expresses hope, lifts the spirit, and inspires confidence in one’s abilities”

HAPPINESS

“To me, true happiness is the freedom to devote myself to art and I ask for nothing more”

PORTRAITS

“When you paint a portrait, you paint not the flesh, but the
soul”

GROWTH

“Between two rocks, a poppy grows, fighting for its place under the sun”
